First thought was hair transplant. They so often have that unnatural plug look. If I did one, I'd grow my hair longer

Hairlines get too much emphasis on the baldness/transplant forums.
If people are scrutinizing your hairline then your transplant usually has bigger problems. People scrutinize hairlines when they sense that something about your hair (overall) is "off". They are trying to put their finger on what it is.

Yeah. I think this could be a good hair transplant option for many of us. Even sceptic Dr Rasman has spoken positively about them.

I don't see how posting a guy that could be pushing 80 years old and is totally fubar is relevant here, because he surely doesn't represent an average candidate. He sits on the very extreme of what bad is.
You guys must be crazy to think the guy I posted is an "ideal" candidate for hair transplant. He is far from it.
You want to see ideal candidates for hair transplants just go to Dr. Couto YT channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/FUEXPERTCLINIC/videos
Guys not very far on the Norwood scale with thick and dense scalp of hairs.
OTOH, this is not an ideal candidate, full stop

Yes but in the end you are at the mercy of a doctor who may or may not be skilled enough to make a good transplant. I will wait until AI is more involved in hair transplants, to remove human error.
That guy in the pic doesn't look near 80. He looks like 60s + acne scars.
How many grafts do you figure he has to spare? Maybe 2000 without showing it? Okay, let's think about how he got there. His donor area didn't go from thick to thin in a week during his 60s. It's a process. He might have realistically had 4000 grafts to spare when he was in his 40s. That's a long way from 7000 and my point stands.
The patient you posted was not "ideal". But the photo I posted was not a worst-case scenario either. He was still Norwood#6 with high sides. That pretty much guarantees that his thinning isn't the worst in town. There are guys with his degree of loss in any public place. It's not rare.
Here's what is fcuking rare:
Starting off with a Norwood#6, getting 7000 grafts' worth of visible restoration (regardless of how many grafts were moved or paid for), and not having the donor area look ravaged.
That used to be rare I agree, but it’s not the case any more with Zarev, that is the point I’m trying to make with this thread. There are average NW6 dudes getting great coverage with their donors barely looking touched

Can't you also transplant your beard hair if you need more coverage? Beard hairs are also twice as thick which can be good for density.
Transplants only look "off" if the hairline is brutal though. People put emphasis on it because its what you actually see when you are face to face with someone, ie the most important part of your hair..

The sad thing is none of those hair transplant will maintain cosmetic result with the sh*t maintenance treatments we have today. They will just continue to go bald and every hair transplant patient I message said there results end up sh*t after a while

I think everybody here ultimately shifts what their idea of good is.
Reality meets our expectations half way.
I had a hair transplant 10 years and only now am I really wanting to fill in my crown. Maybe a bit. And only because I’d prefer a less thin look.
I 100% guarantee if you choose the right surgeon and don’t care about the ongoing thinning nature of m hair loss you can do soooooo much better than looking slick bald.
But I 100% agree with you that there’s always a risk.

In all seriousness, I personally know people who had ears that stuck out that had a simple procedure done when they were teenagers that put their ears tighter to their heads. It's a very common and simple procedure with low risk and healing time. You should seriously consider it and just shave your head until such time as a completely solid, effective solution to hair loss is found.

Ear pinning is the surgical correction of protruding ears. The procedure is usually performed on children at age 5 or 6.
